Natsume Reels in Gamecube

If you've been a gamer on any previous Nintendo console or handheld, then chances are good that you've run across the occasional Natsume title in the mix. The publisher is notorious for releasing some of the most creative, charming, and addictive games for all previous Nintendo systems, including a few for the Sony PlayStation as well. The company prides itself on crafting new and original gaming genres through its titles, instead of simply rehashing old gameplay ideas like much of the present industry.

And so it is with great pleasure that we welcome this talented organization to the ever-growing list of Gamecube supporters. Today Natsume president Yasuhiro Maekawa told IGNcube that the company intends to publish several titles for Nintendo's future console during the coming years. While no official comments could be made regarding specifically which games are scheduled for production, fans of the popular Harvest Moon and Legend of the River King titles are no doubt extremely excited at this news and the potential for more classic RPG-style farming and fishing.

IGNcube will bring you more news and announcements from Natsume in the near future as its Gamecube projects get underway.
